the lacquer room burst open and the

shrieking with agony and fear, a mass
of flame from head to foot. She ran
through the shipping room into the of-
fice, where B. L Wright, the manager
of the company, was at work at his
desk.
The girl’s terrified shrieks told him
that something was wrong before she
reached him and with admirable pres-
ence of mind he kneWJult what to do

his moustache and soaring his hair.
He placed one hand over the girl's
mouth and nose to prevent her from
inhaling the fire rind with the other
hand tried to beat out the fire in her
clothes. Someone handed him his ov-
ercoat and be wrapped the girl in it.
The fire burned his hands. but he per-
severed in the work. even though his
lingers were burned dimesi, to the
bone, and he finally succeeded.
The last smouldering sparks in her
garments were extinguished by pails
of water thrown over her by Mr.
Wright and Herman Vogcl, of 41
Franklin street. Not until then did
Mr. Wright. give any thought to the
fact that the factory was on fire. Keep-
ing his presence of mind he turned
from the shrieking girl and superin-
tended the work of the men in putting
out the fire in the lacquer room. The
acid. which was spilled all over the
floor, is very inflammable and was
blazing fiercely. The men were try-
ing to extinguish it with water, but
like oil it. only spread over a greater
area. Aiming the first to arrive on

Three Counts for Murder.
ROCKVlLlJC. April 12,—Many scores

which Ephraim Serouok. alias Frank
Sherrie was put to plea on the charge
of the murder of Mrs. Louwlka Ruins.
of Somersville, on January 5.
No case ever called for trial in this
place has attracted so much attention
and much curiosity was manifested by
those who went. to the courthouse in
Sherrie‘s personal appearance. The
prisoner was brought over from the
county'jall at 'l‘oliand by the sheriff
and he ran the gauntlet. of scores of
pairs ,of eyes without a flinch.

the privilege of interpretation of the
evidence. and N. R. Mailnoswky, of
New Britain, was appointed as court
interpreter.
Sherrie was put to plea on the in-
lictment in three counts, the first at-
legation of which was that he killed
the woman by hitting her over the
head with a hammer. inflicting two
wounds; the second is that be caused
death by strangulation with a towel.
and the third that he caused death by
both the use of hammer and towel.
Attorney Charton entered a plea of

Senator Donovan, of South
Norwalk, Believes that
Humanity Demands Them.
and He Says Motormen Are
Afraid to Petition for Retirees
Before the committee on railroads
yesterday afternoon Senator Donovan
of Norwaik made ii plea in behalf of
his bill to require street railway com-
panies to equip cars with vestibuies
during the winter months. He called
upon H. H. Spooner of Kensington.
secretary of the Connecticut Temper-
ance Union. who said that in the course
of his labors he traveled 6.000 miles
a year and in many cases he found that
trolley cars were not fitted with ves-
tibules. The'nnen were not properly
protected and suffered intensely from
the cold. Often their condition was
such from the cold and wind that the
lives of the passengers were endang-
ered. .
Senator Donovan said that in their
report for 1899 the railroad commis-
sioners recommended that vestibules
should be placed on cars. The com-
missioners had ordered the Norwalk
Street Railway Company to equip its
new cars with vestibules but the com-
pany had put on no new cars since the
order was issued. The persons most
interested in the bill could not well
appear before the committee. for if
they should, they would be in danger
of losing their position. Only paid
attorneys would oppoae the measure
and their objections would be techni-
cal. it was not fair to put a man out
in the cold and inclement weather
for seven or eight hours. Senator lion-
ovan said if the directors of a street
car line were ’obllged to serve as mo-
tormen for a time. the vestibuies
would be installed very soon. He urg-
ed thnt as much protection shbuld be
given to men as to horses and cattle.
“Do i understand that men who are
aggrieved in this respect hesitate to
send in petitions?" asked Senator
Bradstreet.
tilt is most certainly so." sold Seria-
tor Donovan.
"i am sorry to hear it said that
men. in the United States lire afraid
to apply for redress from the griev~
RnCCl-i.” remarked Senator Bradstreet.
“Nevertheless it‘ "is so." again assert
ed the senator from Norwalk.
William Barbee, superintendent of
the Connecticut Railway and Lighting
Company. was called by Attorney
Hincks. He said that all of the cars of
the company were equipped either
with vestibules or shields. All of the
new cars have thibulos. It is im-
practicable to put full vestibules on
many of the old cars. The company
had complied with all of the orders of
the railroad commissioners.
in reply to Senator Donovan Mr.
Barbee said that the cars on the line
between Wesiport and Noroton River
were half vestibulcd. The distance
was twelve miles and the time con-
sumed on the trip was two hours and
twenty minutes. Mr. Darbee did not
think that the motormen suffered from
expounrc. The company had no dim-
t-uliy in getting motormen.
Attorney ilincks said that motormcn
should be protected as far as practic—
able. and that new cars should be
vesiihuled.
Senator Bradstreet asked if Senator
Donovan was authorized to appear for
anybody in favor of the bill. and the
latter replied that it was a matter of
the heart with him. He considered
the Connecticut Railway and Lighting
Company the worst managed to Con-
necticut. and said that by its misman~
agornent thirty lives had been lost on
a single occasion. lie referred to the
